Jorge, Oskar and Amir,

I really enjoyed this PHD Comics video about a remarkable quantum experiment! I think it is my favorite of the videos Jorge submitted: the animations nicely complement the clear explanations, and one really gets to understand what is going on in the experiment and why it is a significant achievement. Congratulations!

I hope your video does well in this contest!

P.S. If you have a chance to take a look at my trilogy of videos entitled "This Is Physics" --- where I try to convey the "fun of physics" by focusing on some of the greatest moments of its history --- it would be quite appreciated! I think many of the participants in this contest have not yet realized that a video needs to get at least 10 community ratings (before the deadline of September 12) to even get a chance to be considered for the final round... so it is vital when voting to use the video creator code that FQXi sent us, so that our votes get counted in the community category.

Hi,

Great explanation video. But you will get more excited results if you use distribution function of the concrete parameters of an event (phenomena, etc). The latest achievements of elementary-particle physics do not correlate with any of manifestation of our visible reality.

Please, watch

Love the art style! Great explanation of physics concepts as well!

If you get a chance I'd really appreciate it if you watched our video and rated it too!
